- the present invention relates to a method for obtaining flavorings.
- Flavorings are frequently used primarily in the food industry in order to change the sensory quality of products. In this case, an annually increasing demand, in particular for natural flavorings is measured, since consumers are reacting increasingly critically to the use of artificial flavorings. Natural flavorings are extracted, for example from plant raw materials, using organic solvents such as alcohols or ketones. Such methods are widely known in the prior art.
- the inventors of the present invention have therefore addressed the problem of developing a method which does not have the disadvantages that are known in the prior art and enables in particular natural flavorings to be obtained, which are added in a simple manner to desired products, or, after separating off unwanted components from the flavorings, can be added back to the starting materials.
- the expression “obtaining” in the context of the present invention is taken to mean the acquisition of at least one flavoring which after the method according to the invention has been carded out is present in the gaseous composition in purer form than originally used and/or which, after the method according to the invention has been carried out, has an increased availability.

- a gaseous mixture consisting of short-chain alcohols and water is generated from the aqueous alcoholic solution by stripping or evaporation. It is particularly preferred in this case that at least 50% of the short-chain alcohols present in the aqueous alcoholic solution can be bound to the molecular sieve.
- These properties of the molecular sieve can be determined is by stripping 500 ml of an aqueous alcoholic solution containing at least 50 g/l of the short-chain alcohol for 24 hours at a pressure of 1.013 bar and a temperature of 30° C. with 1 l of inert gas volume per minute and passing the gas stream enriched with the short-chain alcohol through a column which is packed with 200 g of the molecular sieve.
- the gas stream that is depleted in the short-chain alcohol is recirculated.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for obtaining flavorings.
- Flavorings are frequently used primarily in the food industry in order to change the sensory quality of products. In this case, an annually increasing demand, in particular for natural flavorings is measured, since consumers are reacting increasingly critically to the use of artificial flavorings. Natural flavorings are extracted, for example from plant raw materials, using organic solvents such as alcohols or ketones. Such methods are widely known in the prior art.
- It is disadvantageous in the case of these methods that, firstly, the solvents used for the extraction represent additional costs, and, in addition, they must be separated off from the extract by energy-consuming distillation or evaporation before addition of the flavorings.
- A further method for obtaining natural flavorings which succeeds without the use of organic solvents is described in EP 1 916 294. In this case, a plant starting material is placed under vacuum and heated to a temperature which is above the boiling point of water. The flavorings are extracted from the starting material together with the water that is transferred to the gas phase.
- This method, on account of the steps that are complex in processing terms, is a problem industrially from economic aspects. In addition, a large amount of water is co-separated off, which must be separated in a complex manner before use of the flavorings.
- The inventors of the present invention have therefore addressed the problem of developing a method which does not have the disadvantages that are known in the prior art and enables in particular natural flavorings to be obtained, which are added in a simple manner to desired products, or, after separating off unwanted components from the flavorings, can be added back to the starting materials.
- It has now surprisingly been found that this problem can be solved by a method in which the flavorings are obtained from a gaseous composition comprising at least one flavoring, which comprises the step
- (A1) contacting a gaseous composition containing at least one flavoring with an adsorber, wherein the adsorber comprises a molecular sieve having a pore diameter of at most 8 Å.
- The expression “obtaining” in the context of the present invention is taken to mean the acquisition of at least one flavoring which after the method according to the invention has been carded out is present in the gaseous composition in purer form than originally used and/or which, after the method according to the invention has been carried out, has an increased availability.
- The expression “contacting”, in the context of step (A1) of the method according to the invention, is taken to mean any type of contacting which appears suitable for the purpose according to the invention to a person skilled in the art, Preferably, the contacting in the context of step (A1) is performed by passing the gaseous composition through one (or more) column(s) containing the adsorber, Preferably, a plurality, particularly preferably 2 to 6, columns are used. These columns can be series- or parallei-connected.
- In this case the columns can contain the same or different adsorber materials, The fraction of the molecular sieve having a pore diameter of at most 8 Å, in the context of a preferred embodiment, is at least 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the adsorber, preferably at least 25% by weight, further preferably at least 50% by weight, particularly preferably at least 75% by weight, in particular at least 90% by weight, and most preferably at least 95% by weight. In this case, it is likewise particularly preferred that the fraction of the molecular sieve having a pore diameter of at most 8 Å (or at most 7.5 Å, at most 7 Å, at most 6.5 Å, respectively in the ranges of pore diameter cited successively as particularly preferred) is at least 90% by weight, preferably at least 95% by weight, particularly preferably 100% by weight, based on the total weight of the adsorber. In addition, it is preferred when the fraction of the molecular sieve having a pore diameter of at most 8 Å (or at most 7.5 Å, at most 7 Å, at most 6.5 Å, respectively in the ranges of pore diameter cited successively as particularly preferred) is selected in the range from 25 to 100% by weight, based on the total weight of the adsorber, preferably in the range from 50 to 100% by weight, further preferably in the range from 75 to 100% by weight, and most preferably in the range from 90 to 100% by weight, based on the total weight of the adsorber.

It is particularly preferred in this case that at least 50% of the short-chain alcohols present in the aqueous alcoholic solution can be bound to the molecular sieve. These properties of the molecular sieve can be determined is by stripping 500 ml of an aqueous alcoholic solution containing at least 50 g/l of the short-chain alcohol for 24 hours at a pressure of 1.013 bar and a temperature of 30° C. with 1 l of inert gas volume per minute and passing the gas stream enriched with the short-chain alcohol through a column which is packed with 200 g of the molecular sieve. The gas stream that is depleted in the short-chain alcohol is recirculated, By determining the weight of the molecular sieve before and after the experiment, the total mass taken up is determined, The fraction of water can be determined by Karl-Fischer titration. The remainder of the bound mass is due to the adsorbed short-chain alcohol. Preferably, an aqueous alcoholic solution consisting of 50 g/l of ethanol in water is used.
